On A South Sea by Eddie Alkire, 1936

Post by Bill McCloskey »

Here is my latest recording of the work of Eddie Alkire. On A South Sea Isle, 1936. Arranged for the Eharp and performed on an Epiphone Eharp by Bill McCloskey.

it is kind of long, about 8 minutes, but keeps changing all the time: it has an A-B-A-C-A-B-A structure which is played through 3 times with a different melody each time. 9 unique melody lines.

Hope you enjoy it.
